IMO The Lost Tapes is a classic compilation of songs as well

A classic and Nas' most "crisp" sounding album imo. If that makes sense.

Crisp as in polished?

Crisp as in polished?

the beats got that "clap" to it

when I read that post i immediately knew what my nikka meant cause I felt the same way

right around when the bass drops on "you're da man" you re-catch that vibe

There's weak tracks on Paid In Full, The Chronic, Ready to Die, 7 Day Theory, The Infamous, Doggystyle, etc.

does that take away from their classic iconic status?

What are the weak tracks on Ready To Die, The Infamous, and Paid In Full?

He must not like half of paid in full or illmatic being there was only 9 or 10 tracks on both of them lmao

 

[UpAndComing]

What are the weak tracks on Ready To Die, The Infamous, and Paid In Full?

I like how you only mentioned 3 out of that whole list, you ain't slick


Ready to Die - Friend of mine was a weak track
The Infamous - Drink Away the pain was a weak track, ironically even though its one of my favorites on the album
Paid in Full - I would agree, no weak tracks on that one

 

[Evil Grandson]

This sht a strong 7 at best.

 

[Formerly known as...]

Brave heart party? I don't even know how it sounds anymore.

Album is a classic no doubt.

In the end, there's little here to refute Jay-Z's harsh assessment of his rival's discography. "This is my ending and my new beginning," Nas spits on the album's intro. But for an artist who built his rep traversing breath-defying lyrical heights, Stillmatic's by-the-books beats and rhymes don't sound like the start of anything good.

Remember reading this back then and just
